the voice of conscience began with israel with it's profits call israel back to their purpose and cause. in america george mcgovern stood in the tradition of henry david author row of william brian and more recently of robert kennedy and of martin luther king. when the wounded veteran in vietnam needed a voice he was there. when the hungry child in american poverty needed a voice, he was there. when women, minorities and young people sought to breakdown the barriers of a closed political system, his voice was there. when sinister voices corrupted the political system and haunted the corridors of power in washington, he was there to warn us. voices of conscience make us uncomfortable. our political system forces them to the march. those made uncomfortable by george mcgovern's voice of conscience dismissed him as a liberal in an age which rids liberalism. he was larger than any liberal particularly a non-niesed one. liberals did not get elected and re-elected in conservative states which they did not take on unpopular causes particularly in recent years and most of all liberals did not fl

i will stand for israel and our friends. we will be stronger because america will stand for something, including our values. what part of his view about our foreign policy relates to the military? the president announced a $500 billion military cost reduction program. it seems one place in the budget he is willing to cut, and let me give you a perspective on what is happening today. we have fewer ships in our navy that any time since 1917. we have an older and smaller air force fleet than any time since 1947 when the air force was created. you know how burned our soldiers have been with the number of rotations they have had going into afghanistan and iraq, and in a circumstance like that this president wants to reduce our commitment to defense. it is not because the world has become safer. look around the world, north korea is going through a change of leadership, which puts that in play, china is saying they should have control of the south china sea, we should get their permission to go there. almost half of the world's tr

it's like comparing israel depending its little airport and a country as big as ours. it is a misnomer. it is mental masturbation. it is insane. we had better get a grip on where we are going. all this will legitimize the lead status of government workers to grab more and more of our money to pay for their lifestyles. they will not be told they cannot go see a good doctor and. it will be people like me that are told you go to the right, you go to the gulag and maybe you will see a doctor. host: thank you, you've made some important points. you may need a doctor, because you're getting very upset, sir. guest: this is the way health insurance operates. we see what happens when it does not operate that way. people buying coverage in the individual market, you cannot get coverage if you have diabetes. you cannot get coverage if you have not taken care of yourself. insurance companies will not sell you coverage. they will sell you coverage except for the things that will make you sick. we know that market is not working. the only way to run the system is to get everybody in

israel and cyprus are finding themselves suddenly petrol states. how does the gulf of mexico fit into this? citibank released projections for 2020. it is the most bullish of the investment banks, the one that projects the united states is producing 3 million barrels a day surplus that can be exported. gulf of mexico production triples from 1.25 million barrels a day of to 3.75 million barrels a day. the gulf of mexico accounts for almost all of that surplus. what i see is a very different narrative from one that i am hearing -- that i have heard on the panel and that i hear on the outside. it is not that oil companies are standing on the sidelines or nervously biting their nails, "what are going to drill next?" oil companies have their hands full in what the world drill around the world. the challenge for all oil companies is how they are going to drill next. it includes political temperaments that bud alluded to and a belief in part of the population that we should be shifting from fossil fuels and more towards renewalables. there's been an assess
